Is this wootz?
I have been involved in a debate on another forum whether the sword in the photos has a wootz blade or not.
It would be interesting to hear your opinions! |

Doesn't look wootzy, more like pattern welded, sometimes called Damascus.
It was used in European presentation swords quite often. Are there any inscriptions or decorations on the blade? Last edited by kronckew; Today at 10:06 AM. |

Thank you for your opinions!
That's exactly what I also said: pattern welded. |
